Chapter 559: Chu Family Banquet (Part 1)

However, despite their many speculations, a significant number of people were genuinely surprised to see Chu Zhengwei. He was beaming, his face ruddy with health, and he walked steadily before the crowd without needing anyone’s support.

Many people were well aware of Mr. Chu’s health. The Chu Family had sought out countless renowned physicians for the old injury on his leg, but none had managed to significantly improve his condition.

Yet now, Mr. Chu appeared before everyone as if he were perfectly fine. How could that not be a surprise!

No one would believe Mr. Chu was just putting on a brave face for show. If he could fake something like this, his abilities would be truly astounding!

Although the guests of honor had yet to arrive, as soon as Mr. Chu appeared, many people rushed to his side to cozy up to him.

On the one hand, they wanted to know if Mr. Chu’s old injury was truly healed. On the other, they were naturally trying to find out just who had cured him.

The Chu Family had, of course, anticipated this. However, they had no intention of simply giving Shen Nian away.

Therefore, while Chu Zhengwei happily flaunted that his old injury was mostly healed, he refused to reveal a single word about the expert who had treated him, cruelly stoking everyone’s curiosity.

Naturally, some people leveraged their good relationship with Mr. Chu, attempting to pry some key information out of him. However, they had drastically underestimated just how tight-lipped Chu Zhengwei was prepared to be.

Right up until the banquet’s guests of honor arrived, no one had managed to pry the truth they so desperately wanted from Chu Zhengwei or any other member of the Chu Family.

On the contrary, they only gave Chu Zhengwei more opportunities to flaunt his recovery.

In that short time, aside from learning that Chu Zhengwei’s old injury was mostly healed, nearly everyone present had also come to understand a crucial fact: Mr. Chu held his newly acknowledged adopted grandson in very high regard.

This inevitably sparked a great deal of curiosity about Mr. Chu’s adopted grandson. Many envied the man’s incredible luck, rising from a nobody to a member of the Chu Family in a single bound.

While receiving guests, Chu Zhengwei, along with Chu Deming and his wife, heard a report from a servant and immediately turned their gazes toward the entrance of the banquet hall.

Seeing the Chu family’s reaction, the guests quickly realized what was happening—the guests of honor for tonight’s banquet had arrived.

And so, all eyes turned toward the entrance of the banquet hall.

Soon, two men and two women, dressed elegantly, appeared at the entrance to the hall.

After pausing briefly at the entrance, the four of them began walking toward the center of the hall, where several members of the Chu Family were standing.

As the foursome made their way forward, the onlookers’ gazes filled with stunned admiration.

Chu Yunze and Chu Lingxiu were one thing; as the young master and young miss of the Chu Family, if not everyone, then at least a good portion of the guests recognized them.

However, it was Lu Cheng and Shen Nian who truly captured their attention. Walking alongside the Chu siblings, their bearing and appearance were in no way inferior—in fact, in some ways, they even seemed to surpass them. This made the guests all the more curious about their identities.

The fact that they were able to attend this banquet and appear alongside the Chu siblings made many people begin to speculate about their identities.

And the Chu Family’s reaction quickly gave them their answer.
